My Firewall is not letting me change permissions, and documents with .501 and .503 extensions are getting created related to Device Discovery and Image Capture!
I have good reason to believe my system has been compromised. Just a few minutes ago I went into the "System & Security" from the "Preferences" and I just happened to click on my firewall settings and in the window in which users can "allow" or "block" certain actions I saw a permission for screen sharing green and allowed, [shown in the picture below] and I tried many times to click on it and press the minus sign or change the permission from green to yellow or red and simply block it, but it appears to be frozen or locked and I cannot even select it. I'm on the administrator account so it's not a matter of user account. Clicking on it doesn't do anything. Having said that I can check and select the "Stealth Mode" and "Block All incoming Connections"... but why am I not able to select that Screen Sharing and what is it? [Image below]
I also spotted 2 strange looking docs created in my Library/Caches folder, file name: com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.501 and com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.503 [Image below]
In Finder, on the sidebar, next to the "Computer" icon under the devices, the title "Computer" itself has disappeared, and it's basicly blank and empty in front of the "Computer" Icon, it works and takes me to "Macintosh HD" when I click on it, but the writings have disappeared... [Image below]
Would anyone please tell me what this is all about? I'd really appreciate your help. Mac OS X 10.7.5 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
I haven't been able to get my site posted up yet. Here is a link to it anyway:andrearosales.com
I will be working on connecting my files up to my server. At the moment, here are some screen shots of some messages that I am getting when I am saving my file.
I'm not sure what to make of these messages. I tried to put a new spry horizontal menu bar on my main page, and when it appeared, it displayed as a spry vertical menu bar.
Here is a picture of what it looks like:
I"m going to refer to the links that were suggested to me though. I'm not sure if pictures of the code will help to solve my problem. I'm going to try again to connect my files to my server though.

I forgot my security question answers. It's not letting me change them if I don't know them. What do I do?
Start here, and reset your password, you will receive an email with your new password, then go to manage your account > Password and Security and change your security questions.
If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support -
Ical does not let me change event time
I use OS 10.5.2. My ical does not let me change the minutes. It always defaults to :40(ie 10.40, 8:40, etc.) and it does not let me change the day. It always defaults to day 30(ie 1/30/08, 4/30/06, etc.)
any help?
Thanks,

macbook promaguas,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I am not familiar with the MacBook Pro keyboard or the modifier keys, but try using the Up/Down arrow keys on your keyboard to make the day/time changes.
Let us know if that works.

It's not letting me change the firewall settings.
I have a odd problem. It's not letting me change my firewall settings. The settings are locked by default, when I click on the little lock image in the bottom it does not prompt me for the password, it says "authenticating" for about 2 seconds, and then the "Click the lock to make changed" text appears again. I don't know what to do...
I only have one account and I don't know how I could log into it more than once at the same time...
My signature is not correct... I have the latest 10.6.1.
Would it be possible to change the firewall settings in terminal? -
Email will not let me change fonts all of a sudden.
Email will not let me change fonts all of a sudden. It says I don't have the neccesay permissions in ~/library/preferences. this has just happened recently.
Who is your email provider?
You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
If yes, try deleting the mail account and adding it again. -
Hello people,
I can't update iPhoto after installing OSX 10.9.2, it has the name otto@**** in the apple ID box and will not let me change it. Any thoughts?
Thanks
<Email Edited By Host>You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method. -
My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address. I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email. My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices, it tells me that email is already being used. How do I delete the iPhones iCloud account and reinstall it to match my other devices.
Yes it will, just sign out, then sign back in with the correct address.

My dvd player will not let me change regions, it says i have one more chance to change it, then it just quits when i do, now its stuck on region 1. Any thoughts how i can solve this problem or get round it in some way?
Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory. -
I used to have a apple id but when i got my macbook i changed it. Then i downloaded OS X and updates in my app store will not let me change my apple id back to my new one it just still uses my old one. What do i do?
Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple Id to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new ID. -
photoshop elements 12 will not let me change the size values in pixels or ht and widlth, or resolution. How can I fix this? I have used this many times in the past and it has worked fine, but not today.
That did not change anything. But think I may have discovered part of the
problem. I found that if I use the numbers on the top of my keyboard,
rather than the side, it will change the numbers. So may actually be an
issue with a defective keyboard. will try to address that. thank you for
your help. The problem seemed to be patched for the moment

Installed iTunes on a 1TB drive designated H:. Bought a 3TB drive designated G:. Downloaded iTunes update. On "Run" command, it will not let me change the destination drive, so it registers an error, and will not update. App freezes, windows says to upgrade it.
I went to Edit>Preferences>Advanced, G: is showing as the destination drive.
